Thanksgiving
last update: 11/29 @ 22:30

We enjoyed the traditional Springfield Thanksgiving (thank you again Lee for hosting). Fantastic food, great company from the extended Zapolsky side and fun excursions.

Including the traditional Thanksgiving hockey game.

And this year the Capitals won! 4-2 vs. the Maple Leaves.

Non traditionally, Robert stayed in Seattle; he had only a couple days between classes and sports events out there. Traveling, especially right around the holiday, would have been crazy.

We do get to see him soon for Christmas, when he has much more free time.

The Bird Buddy is working fine.

And the Pigeon protection cage is also doing its job.

But there has been a bit of a slow down with the changing seasons, we’re seeing fewer birds (like this house finch).

Which means the seed is lasting longer — not a bad thing.

Back from a lovely wedding

We really enjoyed the fantastic wedding of Elise and Martin last weekend.

And we enjoyed the flexibility to tour around a few extra days in (not so) sunny Southern California.

The time to catch up with Sarah’s family, and meet Martin’s family was really special.

But not as special as the rainbow that popped up right after the wedding!

More photos in the trips section.

Really looking like fall

I expect with the dry autumn we’ve had this year, the leaves around Angler’s Inn are unlikely to get any better than today.

Which is fine, I think the back channel looks splendid in its fall glory today.

It was a bit chillier (low 60s, and I’m sure the water is also gradually cooling off) than the last time I was out but we did get some rain so the level was up a bit to just over 3 feet (3.03).

I did see the heron again, but not long enough to try to get a photo. I also saw a couple other boaters out on the water today.

I’m hoping for a bit more rain before I get out again, today was noticeably less rocky and the Maryland chute a bit more fun to surf across.

Of course, I also hope it’s not too cold for me to want to go out should the river come up a bit :)
